Abstract: A washing system that includes a vessel for storing a cleaning solution, an inlet connection point for pressurizing the vessel, and an outlet connection point for dispensing the cleaning solution. In one embodiment, the washing system includes a regulator valve configured to remain open and allow the inside of the vessel to be filled with pressurized gas via the inlet connection point when pressure inside the vessel is below a predetermined value and automatically close when pressure inside the vessel exceeds the predetermined value. In another embodiment, the washing system includes a relief valve (e.g., at the top of the vessel) that is configured to remain closed when pressure inside the vessel is below a predetermined value and automatically open when pressure inside the vessel exceeds the predetermined value.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of introducing a sterilized product into a controlled environment. The sterilized product is enclosed in a substantially hermetically sealed first layer, which is enclosed in a substantially hermetically sealed second layer, which is enclosed in a substantially hermetically sealed third layer, which is enclosed in a substantially hermetically sealed fourth layer. The method includes removing the fourth layer in a first environment (having a first sterility), removing the third layer in a controlled second environment (having a predetermined second sterility that is higher than the first sterility), removing the second layer in a controlled third environment (having a predetermined third sterility that is higher than the second sterility), and removing the first layer in a controlled fourth environment (with a predetermined fourth sterility that is higher than the third sterility) to expose the sterilized product.

Abstract: An air sampler device has a top plate and a bottom plate, and receives a Petri dish between the top plate and the bottom plate. The top plate includes 283 substantially small holes. The bottom plate has a deepened center well formed in the top surface. Elongated slots are formed in the top surface which extend out from the well. The slots have distal ends which extend beyond the Petri dish. Air is drawn into the sampler by a vacuum tube through an air port which communicates with the center well. Air is pulled into the 283 holes in the top plate and strikes the capture material in the Petri dish. The air then travels up over the sides of the dish, into the distal ends, through the slots, and into the center well, where it exits out of the vacuum air port.
